Technical administrivia

Hi Eric,

Thanks for joining ILAT!  Maybe as the list gets up and going, you can
give everybody a primer on character encoding specifications, servers,
user agents and what it all means for the average community language
specialist/linguist (myself included).  You should also mention your
work in this area.
